HKS Turbo Kit Installation & Dyno Tune – Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ

Overview

Our workshop completed a full HKS turbo kit installation on a Toyota 86, transforming it from naturally aspirated to a responsive, reliable boosted street car. We fitted the turbo manifold, heat-wrapped dump pipe, and dual resonated front pipe to free up exhaust flow. The compact, efficient HKS intercooler was installed with careful alignment for a clean finish. Supporting hardware included high-flow fuel injectors, flex-fuel capability, and HKS Racing Super Fire spark plugs for consistent performance.

For boosted 86/BRZ builds we strongly recommend the HKS oil cooler. This turbo-specific kit includes ducting and wheel-guard vents to keep oil temps under control during spirited driving or track use.

Why this HKS setup

• Strong, usable power

  240 kW at the wheels on a safe street tune suited to stock internals.

• Great spool & response

  Compact turbo system with efficient intercooler routing.

• Thermal management

  Heat-wrapped dump pipe + HKS oil cooler to keep temps stable.

• Future headroom

  Flex-fuel ready with fueling upgrades for later power goals.

Results

After installation the car was custom tuned on our dyno to deliver 240 kW at the wheels. While the HKS kit can make more, this level balances performance with long-term reliability on stock internals. The owner now enjoys instant spool, flat torque throughout the rev range, and controlled temps even in Melbourne's summer heat.
